After almost two decades and more than a trillion dollars spent by the United States in Afghanistan following its entry in Afghanistan after the 9/11 attacks, Afghanistan has fallen to the Taliban rule once again.
The Taliban took over Kabul in a Blitzkrieg ending the rule of Afghan government and putting an end to US’ longest-running war. The capture of Afghanistan faster that than what officials had expected. But as Joe Biden’s September 11 exit deadline loomed, the number of American troops decreased, making room for the Taliban to work its way in Afghanistan.
On the 20th anniversary of 9/11 attacks, when the US started its war on terror, things have completed a whole circle: Taliban is back to rule Afghanistan, UN designated terrorists are back in the government and the war against terrorism yielded little results.
